Abortion Rights Secure Wins in Majority of State Ballot Measures
TL;DR Summary
In the 2024 elections, voters in 10 U.S. states decided on measures related to abortion access, with seven states enshrining or further protecting abortion rights in their constitutions, while three states failed to pass such measures, maintaining strict bans. This follows the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which allowed states to individually regulate abortion. Currently, 13 states have nearly ceased all abortion services, and four have enacted six-week bans. The article provides a detailed state-by-state breakdown of current abortion laws and recent ballot measure outcomes.
